Ask Pete the Vet: Why is my dog eating poop and how can I stop him?

Pete Wedderburn answers your questions

Pete the Vet: Theoretically, cats can become infected with Covid when sharing a home with humans who are Covid positive. To minimise this risk, if we are sick ourselves, we should try to avoid close contact with our pets.

My dog, a lurcher mix, eats other dogs ' faeces when we were are out and about. It really grosses me out! Why does he do this, am I missing something in his diet?
